Last night I went to a Thrashers game, courtesy of apiakun. My first Ice Hockey game ever. They lost to the Rangers. I enjoyed parts of the game, they looked very pretty on the ice skating around, but other than that it was not great.
I have a problem with professional sports I think. I watch very little and actually follow none, and I come from a sports mad country. I am always shocked about how much these athletes are paid, and even college sports, the amount of cronynism and back dealing. Then the athletes don’t seem to have to obey regular laws and guidelines, there is always talks of gambling, drugs, rapes, fights etc.
Then there is the arena back-dealing and over pricing:
“A family sport, bring the family down to enjoy the game”
How can a family afford it, and buy a souvenir or two? They cannot even afford a coke practically!
But, it was an experience and I had fun.
